Genre: erotica
Nineteen-year-old Becky Smithton never imagined she’d be invited to her friend, Lorna’s, birthday bash only to be humiliated. The party is over and Becky’s seething with fury, wandering outside and itching for revenge. But what can she do to get back at Lorna and her snobbish mother? A walk through the woods and a chance encounter with Lorna’s bodilicous father, Grant, presents the perfect opportunity. Seducing the dark, handsome—and forbidden—thirty-eight year old should be easy, right? But Grant is made of stronger stuff than other men and soon it’s Becky who’s struggling with frustrated desire. What’s more, her heart is doing funny things and so is her mind, filling her with sudden what-the-hell? pregnancy fantasies involving Grant. As for her body, well, it’s naked and wet, and all she wants is for Grant to dive into the swimming pool and give her what she craves—shallow and deep. After all, if her seduction succeeds then their tryst would only be a meaningless, after party affair… Right?
Read an excerpt from the book:
I was about to head back when the cottage’s front door opened behind me. “Becky?”
As ever, my skin tingled at the sound of Grant’s deep voice. At the sight of his tall, muscular frame, it heated into a blush I was glad he couldn’t see. He’d taken off his tuxedo jacket and cummerbund, and a few of his shirt buttons were undone. With his sleeves rolled up and his thick black hair dishevelled, he gave off an alluring after-party vibe.
“Sorry,” I said stupidly, realising he’d asked me a question. “I was out for a walk and didn’t know you were working.”
Grant perused my outfit before lifting his gaze to the sky. The stars that had illuminated my run to the swimming pool were nowhere to be seen. “It’s clouding over. I’ll find you something for the walk back.”
I frowned at his broad shoulders. No doubt Grant, too, thought I looked cheap, though he was too polite to say so. But he was right about one thing, if it rained more heavily I’d be soaked by the time I got to the house. The second I stepped into the low-ceilinged cottage my eyes widened. Polished oak floors strewn with colourful rugs and a terracotta colour scheme made the long structure seem like a cosy hideaway. A large desk and office paraphernalia occupied the space near the door, and the opposite end was dominated by a Victorian fireplace. The three-seater sofa in front of it looked like the perfect place to curl up with a good book.
“I love it,” I exclaimed.
“It used to be the gardener’s cottage.”
“It’s warm and bright and not at all like—” Oops.
“Like the main house,” Grant finished wryly. “Don’t worry, I’m not offended. Kate has full reign up there, but here I’m the boss.”
My review:
Becky totally seemed to get a really raw deal. But it was the age old high school story, the ones closest to you are the ones that stab you the worst in the back. Whelp, if you read the story you will be very aware that she gets the last laugh. I did find it very interesting that she did not consider herself “easy” but her actions in the book say the exact opposite. You can suspend belief a little because it’s pretty evident that is was a long harbors crush. The book was well written, I’m not sure how I felt about the cheating aspect of the book, I think it bothered me more than the age thing and the book ended pretty abruptly. That being said, I definitely would pick up another story by the author. She has awesome imagery in her writing.
